A family owned coffee shop in Ballard

Woodland Coffee began in 2016 out of our family's love for coffee and a nonchalant place to get it. It all started with our mom and dad's love for coffee in Seattle in the 80's, 90's. The coffee scene was small but growing, and we went to the places that got it right, like Allegro. Our weekend ritual was to grab the dogs, drive to the U-district for coffee and head to Woodland Park. The dogs would run, we would get muddy but at least we were caffeinated. Twenty or so years later, while we don't spend every weekend together, the tradition of grabbing coffee and getting outside persists. Finally in 2016 our dad built StudioWorks in Ballard with a small allotted space for his dream coffee shop. The youngest (of us) runs the store and the rest of the family pitches in. At Woodland we want everyone to be able to have the feeling of the good old 90's coffee shop, where we want no snobbery just good coffee.
